Move to allow guns on college campuses resurfaces in Georgia legislature

A renewed effort to allow guns to be carried on college campuses has surfaced at the Georgia General Assembly.

Earlier this week, five Republican legislators filed a bill that would allow guns on those campuses, with a number of restrictions including athletic venues such as football stadiums.

An earlier effort to allow the carrying of weapons on college campuses, connected with 2014 legislation signed into law that year by Gov. Nathan Deal, was unsuccessful in including those campuses on the list of locations where weapons could legally be carried.

The latest effort to add college campuses as places where weapons can legally be carried is House Bill 859, which was filed on Wednesday. The bill has yet to see any formal legislative action, but college and university officials around the state already are uniting in opposition to the proposal, according to Griff Doyle, vice president for government relations at the University of Georgia.

Doyle said officials with UGA and other institutions have already been in touch with the University System Board of Regents, which oversees the state’s public colleges and universities. The regents’ office will be formulating a uniform response to the proposal for the legislature to consider, according to Doyle.

At UGA, Doyle said, “we support the current state law,” which does not allow guns on college campuses.
